PHOTOS: Inside Hurricane Dorian
Here’s a compilation of some amazing photographs from in, of and around Hurricane Dorian. (The above photo is of Hurricane Florence last year, as we do not have the rights to self-publish any photos of Dorian as of yet).
I find it amazing there are people who actually SIGN UP to fly into hurricanes…on purpose. Thanks to those people, forecasters are given data that adds to their understanding of the storm and their predictions of how it will act. Just amazing stuff.
Lightning from Dorian, as seen from the inside of the Hurricane Hunters plane. Wow. You couldn’t pay me to take that ride. pic.twitter.com/CLM7Lc0V9R

A minute and a half of our 7.5 hour mission yesterday. Here we are surfing the cloud tops at 45,000 feet near the eye of Hurricane #Dorian. It's no eyewall penetration, but still a sight to behold. #NOAA49#FlyNOAA pic.twitter.com/BdNXCBt1fH

#NOAA42 in the eye of #Dorian. Radar from the plane shows how the eye was not much larger than 5 nautical miles (that’s small!) Credit NOAA – J. Sippel pic.twitter.com/dvm7XRjac3
